Nail Polish Battle 2020: Pink and Red

As it is December, it is time for my annual nail polish battle. I find it interesting to look back over the year at the new polishes I have acquired and seeing which ones are my favourites.

Since last years nail polish battle I have 67 new nail polishes which is 15 more than last year. Today I am looking at pink and red ones.


It wasn't too difficult to choose my top three because pink isn't my favourite colour. My photo doesn't seem to be all that colour accurate for some reason but the individual swatch photos are more accurate.

Barry M - French Rose // OPI - All About the Bows // Rimmel - Bold Burgundy

All About the Bows is a very bright almost neon pink shade, a good summer shade.
Swatch-OPI-All-About-the-Bows

Bold Burgundy is almost the opposite to the OPI, a deep burgundy shade. Something I reach for more in the autumn and winter.

And the winner of the pink and red battle is; French Rose. Surprising as it it lighter, but it is dark enough on my skin tone to not look like a nude polish.

Nails: Top 5 Spring Polishes 2020

Barry M - Ocean Blue // Essie - Mint Candy Apple // Barry M - Papaya // W7 - Sheer Lemon // Barry M - Candy Floss

Today is the Spring equinox, not that it feels like a hopeful time. But Spring is here nonetheless and so I'm sharing my Spring 2020 nail polish picks. I have done this type of post before which you can see 2019 here2018 here2017 here2015 here and 2014 here.

You don't need these specific polishes, but these are ones that I want to reach for during Spring. I seem to have gone for all pastel polishes this year.

Ocean Blue is one of the newer polishes from Barry M, it is a light blue cream shade. This is very obviously a blue polish, so something to wear which is clearly not just an off white shade. Light enough though for Spring.


Essie Mint Candy Apple, this polish was THE nail polish a few years ago. This version leans green, a light mint green which as a pastel is very much a colour that screams Spring to me.


Barry M Papaya is the brightest of the polish I picked, not a vivid orange but a lighter, muted orange shade.


I don't have many yellow polishes but W7 Sheer Lemon is one of around five polishes I have. This one is a pastel polish but is clearly yellow rather than a off white shade.


Barry M Candy Floss, is a very light pink polish. This is something that screams Spring to me, very light though so perhaps something I wouldn't wear as is.
